I'm afraid it's not a good deal however you look at it. They are dreadful bikes that used for more than a mile a day will just fall apart. My 12mile a day commute destroyed a Carrera in less than a few weeks. They just aren't built to work!!

I use this for my daily 18 mile commute 5 days a week for the past 4 months. and no problems thus far. yes 7 speed cassette is limiting but its not too heavy and not too much flex from the frame. would recommend at this price and pay additional £20 for haldords 1 year service.

You are claiming this bike won't last 200 miles even tho it has an aluminium frame and brand name components ? Was your 12 mile commute over landmines ?
